First sentence: Without a doubt, if you do nothing else next year, focus your cost-control efforts first on capital expenditures and purchasing cost-if you do not, you are not only wasting your time but also the company's money.
Description: "As part of the current economic downturn, corporate belts are tightening from coast to coast. Everywhere, controllers, managers, and financial executives are looking for new ways to cut costs - sometimes by just trimming the fat and sometimes by chopping off whole limbs.".

"Most controllers or financial managers act as the chief cost control force within their companies. Until now, they have operated without a comprehensive source of informed guidance. IOMA's Cost Reduction and Control Best Practices provides a quick review of the most successful cost control strategies across the entire spectrum of business functions. This detailed resource describes what works best in specific situations and in specific areas of the company."--BOOK JACKET.
